Haley ~ 3 Months

 Haley is getting so big! *sniff sniff*  She is smiling and "talking" almost all the time, following people and objects with her eyes and has started laughing a little, which is lots of fun. She has also become pretty chubby. :)

she is now considerably bigger than the teddy bear. :)

The one with Curls and Celebrities

Still here! My life has been crazy, but good.

I don't have much to say, so this post will mostly consist of pictures. :)

My five-year-old cousin giving my eight-year-old sister a piggy back ride. :)

I just love her blue eyes! My other siblings and I don't have blue eyes, but my mom does, so hopefully her eyes will stay blue. 

I have always thought that the brother-sister relationship is one of the sweetest things. 

 I found these awesome ringlets in my ponytail last night!

Once, someone saw a picture of my curls and said, "God is good!" :D

Okay, so I have been told that I look like this woman, Jennifer Garner. 

...do I?

Speaking of looking like a celebrity... for fun, I recently got an app on my iPod that supposedly tells you which celebrity you resemble. Apparently I resemble Gwyenth Paltrow and Liam, Matthew Perry and Orlando Bloom. :) Nice! I don't know how accurate those are, but nice!

 I have a weird case of "blogger's block", so I don't have anything else to say right now.

I hope your Summer has been great so far!

Haley ~ 2 Months

At 2 months, Haley Bug is smiling and cooing. She makes us all happy, especially when she's smiling at us with a big, open-mouthed grin.

we all love this chubby little baby very much!

with Mommy on Mother's Day. (sorry for the quality of these pictures, I don't know what's up with our camera.)

Happy 2 months, Haley!

Photo Shoot: Rachel & Alley

I had fun snapping a few photos (okay, okay...a little more than a few :)) with my sweet friend, Rachel recently.

 Me with my favorite twig! ;)

 Me being me.

Me laughing, which is something I did a lot of during this photo shoot.

pretty Rachel

 I look like a small child in this one. 

Wow. I look...really scary here.

 I love this one because I have this very mischievous look on my face. Sort of a Tom Sawyer look. :)

 Another favorite. Rachel is so photogenic! 

 Thanks for a great time, Rachel! I am happy that I now have a lot of good pictures of both of us. 

Haley's Baptism Day

5/5/13

Star Wars Day

May the Fourth be with you!

 

 Happy Star Wars Day everyone. :)

Feeling Blessed.

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. -Ephesians 2:8-9 

But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. -Romans 5:8

I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. -Galatians 2:20

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are.... -1 John 3:1

One of our pastors took this picture of our church. I would be there right now, but due to a little cold, I am at home instead.

Thanking God today for His love, grace, mercy, faithfulness, wisdom, power and so much more.

"Great is Thy faithfulness!" "Great is Thy faithfulness!" 

Morning by morning new mercies I see;

All I hath needed Thy hand hath provided---

"Great is Thy faithfulness," Lord unto me!

LOLs :)

Okay, I just have a few funnies to share on here today. :)

I saw this first one a few days ago and laughed so hard! It's so stupid that it's funny. You'll see what I mean...

I think my favorites are the alligator, lizard and t-Rex. 

I also like the sippy cups.... :D

My family recently discovered this comedian. Tim Hawkins and this guy, Thor Ramsey, are my two favorite Christian comedians right now.

Speaking of Tim Hawkins....

:D

And here are a few more funnies.

I got these next ones from my blogging friend, Maddie May. Thanks, Maddie!

This one really tickled me. I don't know if it's his expression, or what, but I literally laughed out loud.

(Speaking of Frodo and LOTR, I finally saw The Hobbit awhile back. I liked it, though I think that the "original" LOTR trilogy is my favorite. Speaking of The Hobbit,--I'm gonna be a total teenage girl here--Kili is not hard on the eyes. Am I right, girls?? ;) Okay. Teenage girl moment over.)

Happy Monday!

Haley ~ 1 Month

Our sweet, 1 month old girl

Haley is growing like a little weed and has started to make eye contact with us and smile (not sure if it's completely intentional yet, but she smiled at me a couple days ago, so I'd like to believe it is :)).

She gets lots of love and makes us all happy.

 

I love her little cheeks!

Sobbin' Women

I read about the abduction of the Sabine women today for school and all I could think about was this song from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. It's been stuck in my head all day long.
